Show Me The Yarn

Saturday, October 10, 2009

I've got my crocheting mojo back. I have made 3 shawls in the past month and a half. Ok. So it's taking me alot longer but there's this new thing I found about 6 months ago called Facebook. It's taking up part of my crocheting time. They will just have to share.

I joined a swap last month at the Ville. It was the shawl swap. I received the most gorgeous knitted shawl in the mail on Thursday. I absolutely love it and it couldn't have come at a better time seeing how it was 38 degrees here this morning. Brrr. It was so nice to wrap up in my shawl and drink my coffee. :)

I am posting a picture of the shawl that I made for my partner. I made her a seraphina using Homespun. I also made her a pair of slippers. I found a new pattern and jsut had to try it. LOL The shawl turned out so nice that I made myself one. I had a ginormous ball of chunky yarn from Hobby Lobby so I used that for mine. I will post a picture of my shawl in a day or two.I am currently working on a pair of slippers for Thing 2 and some more dishclothes for me. I just love using handmade dishclothes.

Everything is pretty much status quo. What a boring life I lead but it's all mine and I wouldn't have it any other way.

IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR!!!!!!! Jr. won the Shootout!! You have no idea how happy this makes me. Now it's on to the Duels on Thursday (and yes....My hubby will be treating me to a night in and watching the Duels via DVR). Then, next Sunday is the 50th Daytona 500. I can't wait to see how Jr. is going to do. Hopefully, with his new car and his new team....HE WILL ROCK!!!!!

Sunday, January 20, 2008

Well, even with my good intentions I guess I am now going to shoot for Sunday updates. I can't even find the time to visit all my friends and forums I like.

On to updates, Cole went to the orthopedic surgeon for his final visit last Thursday and the doctor said that his arm is healed. Thank the lord for that one. That same day, we ended up with 5-6 inches of snow and he wanted to go sledding. Being the good mom....I said...Ummmmm NO!! I told him that he needed to let it heal a bit more (as this was his first day without any support on his arm in well over 14 weeks). He ended up being ok with that seeing that it was only in the single digits.

The pics I have to share today are a baby round ripple for Jennifer and my latest tested doily.

Enjoy the upcoming week. I've gotta run as hubby is taking me out to dinner and the children are spending the night with their grandparents. Gotta love those grandparents. Love having a break every now and then.
